32 churches burned in one day, and the U.S. Catholic bishops forbid discussion of why this is happening, and the extent to which it is happening, for fear of harming their self-defeating and chimerical “dialogue” with Muslim leaders. As long as they maintain this suicidal gag order, they bear partial responsibility for jihad attacks such as this one.
Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State several months ago.
